Oz WHITEOUT Weekend...What say you?

Re: Oz WHITEOUT Weekend...What say you?

Word on the street is Levy was watching the whiteout game and was amazed at the broadcast.

I assume you are talking about Steve and not Darrell.

However, i must caution you to be more specific since I consider each one's contribution to the school about on the same level.

I don't see Steve toting around any national championship rings while he's prancing around the Oswego frats and sororities

Re: Oz WHITEOUT Weekend...What say you?

well I can't validate everyone's praises for WTOP since I was at the game and not able to watch the broadcast, I would like to take the time to thank the guys at the Oswego radio station and commend them on a great broadcast. I enjoy going to the different schools and being able to listen to their PBP broadcasts and see the general knowledge that they have obtained before the game. Oswego I believe has the best I have heard yet. and yes, that even includes Plattsburghs student radio station. Keep up the good work guys!

Excellent observation - WNYO does a great job on the radio side of things and doesn't get the consistent recognition they deserve....

Thank you, much appreciated.

They are beginning to realize that. When they came up and did a game themselves a little while back they actually lost a considerable amount of money through payroll, renting equip, transporting equip etc that they didn't make back. This past weekend all they did was take the feed WTOP already sends to their office to disperse on a cable access channel and send it to the rest of their offices. Very easy for them to do, we anticipate a few more games will be picked up.

To everybody: Thanks for all the feedback, WTOP's very grateful. Obviously we're all students doing this for absolutely free so to see that we really are doing as good a job as we think we are (does that make sense?) is well received. Your complaints/suggestions are also appreciated, it allows us to see what else people want in the broadcast. We got a few of the numbers back from saturday and over 1500 people tuned into the game just online from all across the globe, over 800 of them were new viewers so we must be doing something right. Again, thanks and keep watching!

Wow, I knew a few people who watched the game online, but that's **** impressive. I still long for the day when the whiteout game could get on something like say ESPNU instead of them playing East New Hampshire State vs. Northern South Carolina Coastal University in 7 v. 7 flag football at 7pm on a Friday night.

If Norwich and Middlebury can be ESPNU or whatever ESPN channel they got on a few years ago, I don't see why Oswego couldn't do it.

The advent of internet streaming has really strengthened the alumni base as well, in my opinion. Last year when I was at a bar at home, I ended up talking with a guy who was an Oswego alum '99 and he said that someone sent him a link of where he could watch/listen to one of the hockey games and he hasn't missed watching/listening to one since then. It's great to have two great media outlets at the athletic department's disposal because it shows alumni where their money has gone. Despite Campus Center's faults, there's not one person who I've talked to who hasn't bragged about it.
